ABSTRACT
Abstract

INTRODUCTION:

Toxoplasma gondii and cytomegalovirus (CMV) are pathogens associated with congenital anomalies.

METHODS:

Serum was collected from 79 reproductive-age women and tested for IgM and IgG antibodies to T. gondii and CMV.

RESULTS:

Seropositivity for T. gondii was detected in 24.1% of women and CMV in 96.2%. High seropositivity for CMV was found for all ages. The highest seropositivity for T. gondii was observed among older participants.

CONCLUSIONS:

T. gondii remains an important pathogen owing to low seropositivity.
